What's making you happy this week? You are welcome to comment in any language
The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is pushing a fix to a longstanding issue regarding block notices for users on mobile devices. A year ago, if a blocked user attempted to edit a page from their mobile device, a notice popped up for just a few seconds before automatically disappearing, giving most people insufficient time to read it. Moreover, if the reason for a block contained a wikilink or a template, the notice would fail to render the link, instead displaying raw HTML. This led to botched notifications that looked as bad as this: https://commons.wikimedia. org/wiki/File:Autoblock_of_usernamekiran.png.
I’m happy to see that a fix is almost ready to be deployed which addresses many issues, including rendering links properly. :) https://phabricator. wikimedia.org/T165535

*Conference*
The 2018 Wikimedia Conference https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2018 starts this week in Germany. The core conference will occur from the 20th through the 22nd.
*WMF Research Showcase*
On Wednesday, the WMF Research Showcase https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase#April_2018 will include presentations on two subjects that I think will interest a number of Wikipedians:
- "The Critical Relationship of Volunteer Created Wikipedia Content to
Large-Scale Online Communities"
- "The Rise and Decline of an Open Collaboration System, a Closer Look"
*Photography* As often happens, Wikimedia Commons contributors have selected some great pictures of the day for this month https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Potd/2018-04. Here are a
